snails as school pets

[sarahj]

Hi, I'm a biology teacher and I want to get some snails for school pets. We don't want to breed them, and I know I can get rid of the eggs as they appear but instead wondered if I could:

1. get 2 different species of GALS which couldn't interbreed?

2. have only one snail, or do they get lonely?

Thanks for any help
Sarah

Even if you have one Snails on its own, their is still the chance that it will fertilize itself, and you'd still end up with eggs

I'm not sure about Snails that will not breed together. someone more experienced can probaby help you with that. But you could always just freeze the eggs
